Ubiles named to CollegeInsiders.com mid-major All-America team

Siena senior Edwin Ubiles has been honored as one of 30 members on the CollegeInsiders.com Lou Henson All-America Team, which consists of the top 30 mid-major players as voted on by a 21-member committee consisting of media members as well as current and former coaches.

Ubiles and Rider senior Ryan Thompson were the only two MAAC players to make the list.

Ubiles, a 6-foot-6 swingman, recently finished one of the top careers in program history. He scored 1,939 points in his four years with the program, the third most in Siena history.

This is a joke. He is the one Siena player who does NOT deserve to be on this list. His erratic play was nothing stellar and I think Moore should definitely have made it over him. These voters obviously did not watch a single regular season game and only saw him play in the tourney.
There is a reason he didn’t make MAAC First Team.

I am not a Siena fan, so #5 doesn’t pertain to me.
How can you possibly say that Ubiles deserves it anyways? He looked like he wasn’t trying half the season. Just because he has the talent doesn’t mean he deserves the award. Franklin should have definitely gotten it over him.I mixed with up with Moore in my last statement.

It’s pretty simple, they want to make their list look good by touting how many players make the NBA. Ubiles and Thompson have the best shot of making the NCAAs from the conference so they are on the team. It is that simple.

To #9 – if you had any clue how this thing works you would know that if you make the All-America Team you are not eligible for the Mid-major All-America Team – the reason why Heyward is not on this list.

99% of you clowns that leave comments on here are the most ignorant “fans” I think I’ve witnessed – especially the Ubiles bashers. You don’t know what you got until it’s gone – 1,950 points, 600 rebounds, 300 assists, 200 steals and almost 100 blocked shots, while shooting 50% from the field and being the marked man on a team that was in 4 MAAC Finals, winning 3 of them and playing in 5 NCAA Tournament games. Really embarassing for a lot of you.

Well said, Hobbs! Eddie is so under-rated. The kid was hurt all year and still played fantastically. For all of the “lazy” talk, he was the lynch pin in the press defense, having to hustle more than any other player to make it work. Most of the steals off the press had to do with Eddie’s pressure on the ball handler. So sad he’ll never get credit from some people as being one of the top 4 Siena players of all time.

Agree with Hobbs and many others! Eddie was key every night at the top of the trap, he was always called upon to defend the other teams top scorer and almost always shut them down. Alex and Ron are terrific and I think a great deal of both of them, but their “D” cannot compare to Eddies and that is half the game,

In Siena’s case it is more than half as many of Sienas comefrombehind wins were due to defense not offense
